King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword – A Movie Review
If you’re fan of either Guy Ritchie or King Arthur, I think you’ll be very pleased with King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword. Fresh and visually captivating, you haven’t ever seen this King Arthur before. This is an ass-kickin’ King Arthur who grew up rough on the streets in a house of ill repute. He…

Guardians Of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 – A Movie Review
I’ll be honest and admit that when Guardians Of the Galaxy came around back in 2014, I wasn’t all that into it. I didn’t even make it to the theater for a viewing. Truthfully, even when it came out on video, I didn’t think it was all that great. Funny? Sure. Different from any other…

Lando by Charles Soule and Alex Maleev – A Book Review
This is the Lando book you never knew you wanted. Trust me. I like Lando. You like Lando. Everyone likes Lando. The only problem is, most of us don’t have much exposure to Lando beyond the two Star Wars movies he’s in. Well, this book changes all of that. This graphic novel features our favorite…

Mighty Thor: Thunder In Her Veins by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman – A Book Review

I’ve never been disappointed in a Brian Wood book, so when I ran across Briggs Land: State of Grace (Volume 1), I knew I had to check it out. I’m so glad I did. The premise is perhaps as relevant as ever in that Briggs Land is a self-proclaimed sovereign nation within the United States.…

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – A Movie Review
After somehow missing it in the theaters, I’m happy to announce I finally got around to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. First of all, I’d like to say that I’m really glad they are continuing to build the Harry Potter universe. It’s a rich universe ripe for ample storytelling, and I think…

Passengers – A Movie Review
I love the recent resurgence of space movies. To me, it’s a sign that we are regaining a societal urge to explore the stars once again. Could this reflect a renewed dissatisfaction with Earthly events? Perhaps. Passengers did not initially demand my visit to the theater. Honestly, I like Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s not “must-see”…

Nocturnal Animals – A Movie Review
When I first heard about this movie, I thought it sounded really interesting so I immediately ran to the source material, Tony and Susan. You may remember I reviewed that novel back in October. (You don’t? No worries. Click HERE to read the review.) Sadly, I didn’t make it to the theater in time to…
